Yale Glee Club

In the last several months, I have rediscovered the beauty of the Yale Glee Club.  At the convocation welcoming the new freshman, the Glee Club sang a song that was new to me -- Raise Your Voices, but the current Glee Club director, Jeffrey Douma.  (A YouTube video of it is below.)  Listen to the words . . . very moving.  I couldn't help but cry as I heard them.

Facebook, the source of all wisdom, informed me earlier this week that the Yale Glee Club concert at Harvard was being broadcast via livestreaming.  It was terrific.  If you'd like to hear future concerts, you can in the comfort of your own home.

Their next concert is December 7, and it is a sing along of Handel's Messiah.  Here are the details:

December 7, 2014 - 1:30pm

Join the Yale Glee Club and the Yale Symphony Orchestra for our Annual Messiah Sing-In and sing along to the chorus sections of Handel’s The Messiah. We will perform a number of excerpts from the timeless oratorio. Scores will be available for purchase, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit New Haven’s homeless.

Admission is free; $5 suggested donation at the door.
